According to the Rector, “The accreditation process evaluates institutions based on their academic programmes, infrastructure, faculty, and other key areas. Rufus Giwa Polytechnic’s perfect score is a testament to its commitment to providing quality education and meeting the standards set by the NBTE.”

He added that this achievement would enhance the institution’s reputation, attract more students and faculty, and reinforce the academic standards of the polytechnic.
